I've come back to read current from 21 June, I didn't saw such thread and
I can't recall any commits that were around this. So I guess this is not 
fixed.

By the way while one of cvs updates I've got system lockup after I've
tail -f .z in addition from a network terminal. I didn't try to reproduce
such case so I can't say if this is usual case.
